Chapter 71
"My lord, are you serious?" Hearing what Lin Feng said, Hong Zhengqiang was even more excited.Being able to be a general himself was something he had never dared to think about before!
Nodding his head very solemnly, Lin Feng said: "Anyone has the possibility to become a general. Isn't there a saying? A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier."

"My lord, who said that?" Looking at Lin Feng, Hong Zhengqiang asked very curiously.

"This, that...that's what Taizu said." Lin Feng lied casually and said.You can't tell them that Napoleon said it.Otherwise, how to explain Napoleon?Thinking about these things gives me headaches.

"Taizu is wise." Hong Zhengqiang said a word from the bottom of his heart.Because he thinks it's true.

Driven by Hong Zhengqiang, many people expressed their desire to serve as soldiers.For this, Lin Feng naturally has no objection.The best situation is naturally to get them to the frontier army, where people can be trained the most.If the conditions are not met, they can only be temporarily made into the army of the Nanjiang Province.

Next, Lin Feng answered other people's questions.Mostly trivial things.However, Lin Feng replied one by one.For those people who are really old, Lin Feng has properly settled them.After all, they can be regarded as people who have contributed to the court, so they cannot be treated badly.

After dealing with these matters, Lin Feng was almost exhausted.Looking at Lin Feng, Ruan Ling'er said, "Thank you."

"You really want to thank me?" Lin Feng asked.

Nodding seriously, Ruan Ling'er said, "Thank you very much."

"Then give me a kiss." Lin Feng pointed to his cheek and said.

"Rogue." Although she scolded Lin Feng as a hooligan, Ruan Ling'er kissed Lin Feng's cheek like a dragonfly.Then ran away.

Touching the place where Ruan Linger kissed, Lin Feng said loudly, "I don't feel it?" Unfortunately, Ruan Linger had already run away at this time.

Under Lin Feng's deliberate arrangement, Sun Xuanfeng and others entered various counties smoothly and became honorable government servants.Moreover, in order to make it easier for Yao Xing to deal with Sun Xuanfeng and the others in the future, Lin Feng specially arranged for Yao Xing to get to know them, so that any minor matters in the future can be easily resolved.After all, in many cases, this kind of low-level yamen servant will be more useful.

Although they have finished dealing with Sun Xuanfeng's affairs, Ruan Ling'er is still the chief helmsman of the Eighteen Villages in the south of the Yangtze River after all, so it is definitely inappropriate to leave all at once.Therefore, Ruan Ling'er also left Jinling City on the afternoon Sun Xuanfeng and the others left, and she wanted to go back to deal with the rest of the village.

Lin Feng's confession to Ruan Ling'er was that he hoped that those people would choose to go down the mountain, no matter whether it was to ask the court to recruit security or something else, in short, as long as they went down the mountain, everything would be fine.Of course, if they insist on not going down the mountain, Lin Feng will not make things difficult for them, but if they do something illegal, Lin Feng will personally lead an army to wipe them out.

Ruan Ling'er left, and those people from the cottage also left.This made the bustling left-behind department quiet down all of a sudden.During these days, Lu Shuai's injury has almost healed.Began to become Lin Feng's bodyguard again.

Seeing Lu Shuai who had basically fully recovered, Lin Feng hammered him hard on the chest, and said, "My boy, you are recovering well."

"The subordinates are always thinking about the safety of the adults, how dare you get better quickly." The relationship between Lu Shuai and Lin Feng has obviously surpassed the relationship between superiors and subordinates. Lu Shuai used his own life to protect Lin Feng. .Just for this, Lin Feng would not talk to Lu Shuai in the attitude of a superior.

"Okay, this is good. You almost died for me this time. Say, what do you want, I will definitely satisfy you." Lin Feng said to Lu Shuai.Although he knows that those material things cannot be compared with his life, but now Lin Feng can only thank Lu Shuai so much.

After giving Lin Feng a nasty look, Lu Shuai asked, "Anything is fine?"

"Of course, as long as you say it, I will do it for you!" Lin Feng said carefully.Although he does not hold high power now, he is confident that with his relationship with the Queen Mother, he can still accomplish a lot of things.Especially after returning to Beijing this time, Li Henian must be eradicated.Without Li Henian's obstruction, it would be like a fish in water.

"Subordinate... This subordinate just wants two more jugs of good wine, okay?" Lu Shuai looked at Lin Feng, afraid that he would not agree.

Dazed for a moment, Lin Feng hammered Lu Shuai's chest vigorously, and said: "Look at your promise. Can I give you three jars of good wine? What a big deal!" Lin Feng didn't know, but he boasted so much. Haikou directly led to the emptiness of the palace for many years.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir." Lu Shuai kept thanking Lin Feng.Who doesn't know that those that have been stored in the royal cellar for a long time can't be exchanged for a thousand pieces of gold.I didn't expect to get the three altars so easily.When the time comes, drink a bottle by yourself, and keep the rest, unless something great happens, you must not drink it!
That afternoon, Lin Feng held a military meeting.The content of the meeting was about returning to Beijing. Of course, there were also those responsible for staying behind.The people left behind, led by Yao Xing, together with the original 2000 troops of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, will become the new armed force of Nanjiang Province, and it is very likely that they will be stationed in Nanjiang for a long time to come.After all, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and even if an official takes office, it will be after the Chinese New Year.After all the officials take office and become familiar with government affairs, it may take three or four months.During this time, Yao Xing and the others had heavy tasks.

Both Xin Hong and He Wei were a little surprised that Lin Feng left Yao Xing in Nanjiang Province.Originally, the two thought that it might be one of them who stayed in Jinling, but they didn't expect it to be their boss Yao Xing.However, this is also good, if you stay in Jinling, it is very likely that you will be assigned to the local army in the future.For them, the chances of going to the battlefield in the future are very slim.He Wei is better, for the warlike Xin Hong, this is unacceptable.

After Lin Feng finished arranging things, he looked at Zhao Polu and asked, "Will General Zhao go back to Beijing with us or go back to the frontier directly?"

"Go back to the northwest first. Father and the others should still be fighting with the people of the Western Regions. If we rush back, we can help father to end the war with those small countries in the Western Regions as soon as possible. After all, it's the Chinese New Year, and the brothers also want to have a safe and secure New Year's Eve." Zhao Polu opened his mouth and said.For Zhao Polu, who grew up in the frontier, it is more comfortable to be in the army than in the capital during the Chinese New Year.He is used to life in the frontier, but he is not used to the prosperity of the capital.

Nodding silently, Lin Feng said: "General Zhao is really hardworking. I feel a little ashamed that I rushed here."

"General Lin is humble. I am also used to the life in the frontier. When I return to the capital, I feel uncomfortable. It is the kind of life in the frontier that makes me feel comfortable. If possible, I would rather stay in the frontier for the rest of my life." Zhao Po Lu said.

Zhao Polu has the character of a soldier in his bones.He is not like those military generals in the capital who chase fame and wealth too much.He believes that generals should be stationed on the frontier.Zhao Polu looked down on the generals in the capital who always sat in sedan chairs when they went out.Can't even ride a horse, and don't want to ride, can you still be called a general?
Considering that most of Lin Feng's men either died in battle or stayed in Jinling City to garrison, Zhao Polu generously lent 2000 troops to Lin Feng.And specifically stated that it was borrowed, and Lin Feng would have to pay it back when the time came.

Lin Feng agreed immediately, promising to return a lot to Zhao Polu.But I don't think so in my heart: Will I return the things I borrowed?How can I not remember!

Early the next morning, Zhao Polu came to say goodbye to Lin Feng.He has always been thinking about the military affairs in the northwest, and it just so happens that the affairs here have been completely dealt with.The task on Jiangbei's side was almost completed.Even without Zhao Polu's army, Lin Feng can almost handle it.Most importantly, Zhao Polu left Lin Feng with an army of 2000 soldiers.With these 2000 people, it is enough to deal with some emergencies.

Although he didn't get along with Zhao Polu for a long time, Lin Feng was sincerely willing to make Zhao Polu his friend.And Zhao Polu is also willing to make Lin Feng as a friend.Although Lin Feng didn't have the blood of a traditional general, but at critical moments, Lin Feng could burst out with a burst of ruthlessness, which Zhao Polu admired very much.It's much better than the kind of generals who just run away when they see the enemy.

"General Zhao, we will meet later." After sending Zhao Polu to the door, Lin Feng cupped his hands at Zhao Polu who was riding on the horse.

After returning a salute, Zhao Polu said: "General Lin, if you have time to go to the northwest, I will let you taste the fine wine from the Western Regions. Although it is not as good as our liquor, it still has a special taste."

"Okay, I will go to the Northwest when I have time, and I will also taste the fine wine from the Western Regions that General Zhao said. I remember that there is a poem saying 'Grape Wine Luminous Cup'. I really want to see this fine wine from the Western Regions." Lin Feng said.He has also read a few Tang poems, and in Tang poems, there are many places where the wine of the Western Regions is mentioned.Come to think of it, it was probably wine.

"Then I will be waiting for General Lin in the northwest." Zhao Polu cupped his hands and said.

After Zhao Polu was sent away, the left-behind department, which was already very deserted, became even more deserted.Even Xin Hong, who has always been unable to stop, sat on the side obediently, not knowing what to do.The preparations for the departure of the army have been completed.However, Lin Feng said that there were still some things that had not been dealt with, and told them to wait and set off tomorrow.Helpless, Xin Hong and the others had no choice but to continue to wait.

What Lin Feng said was naturally related to Skynet.After bidding farewell to Zhao Polu, Lin Feng took Lu Shuai and several confidant guards to Xiao Fan's teahouse.Lin Feng still has a lot of things to explain to Xiao Fan.

After kneeling to welcome Lin Feng, Xiao Fan asked, "I don't know if the adults are here to look for the young ones, what can I tell you?"

"There are a few things." Lin Feng said as he walked towards the inside.After Xiao Fan closed the door, Lin Feng pointed to a chair and said, "You can sit too."

"Thank you sir."

"This time you were able to quell King Wu's rebellion. You have contributed a lot. However, the court cannot reward you." After Lin Feng finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Fan.

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Xiao Fan's face was clearly disappointed.After all, they made a lot of contributions this time. They originally hoped to get a good official position, but Lin Feng said that the court could not reward them.

"Don't be disappointed, there is no way around this. You are people who are kept in secret. If the imperial court rewards you wantonly, then you will be exposed immediately, which is not good for your concealment." Lin Feng explained.He also wanted to reward Xiao Fan and the others, but he couldn't do that because it would expose Skynet.

Nodding his head in understanding, Xiao Fan said: "My lord, I know what you mean, and I understand." Although he felt a little regretful, Xiao Fan still expressed his understanding.After all, what Lin Feng said was also true.

"However, don't be disappointed. The court will never forget the credit that should belong to you. I have thought of two plans, and you can see which one is more suitable. The first one is that the court will record all the credit you have made , and wait until you can appear in the open, and reward you once again; the second is that the court does not reward you, but rewards your family members in a disguised form. Look, which one is better?" These two methods are also Lin Feng himself. I figured it out, after all, if others have made great achievements, it is unreasonable not to reward them.

After thinking about it carefully, Xiao Fan looked at Lin Feng and said, "My lord, the younger one has a son who is quite smart in reading. This year, he took the county school exam and won a scholar. My lord, can you recommend him to Studying in the Imperial College?" Xiao Fan himself is such a son, although his family is not good, he is very serious about studying.This year, he was awarded the title of scholar.This made Xiao Fan very happy, and said that green smoke was rising from the ancestral grave.

After thinking about it, Lin Feng felt that this was not a big problem.Those dignitaries of the imperial court, no matter how their sons are, aren't they all sent to the Imperial College?With Lin Feng's current status, it shouldn't be a big problem to arrange for someone to go to the Imperial College alone.
